Home Wreckers and Water Savers

Habitat creates Home Wrecker Crew.

With leadership from Chris Martin at its Walzem Road Home Center, Habitat Humanity of San Antonio recently kicked off a new deconstruction program aimed at helping to salvage usable fixtures from houses slotted for renovation.

The project gives good, re-usable materials a second life; sparing them from the project dumpster and landfill and has the added benefit of reducing hauling costs for contractors and providing an itemized (tax deductable) donation receipt to owners.

To learn more or to volunteer, visit Wrecking Crew online or contact Chris Martin at 210.599.7109.

If you’re in the market for materials for your apartment, home or garden, it may be worth a visit to one of Habitat's Home Centers.

Home Centers sell new and used home improvement materials and proceeds fund Habitat for Humanity S.A. All this, and they’re helping to keep windows, tile, doors, cabinets, and light fixtures in use and out of local landfills.

Speaking of saving precious resources…

There are still a few days left (‘til April 1) to take part in SAWS Fix a Leak Program. While you’re at it, you’ll be earning a $5 credit for yourself and a $5 contribution to Texas Public Radio. To check out the water audit…
